What if a tablet led you to a treasure hidden for centuries-on an island just down the coast?
Savion Crumpler, a curious 10-year-old gamer from Jacksonville, North Carolina, thought his biggest adventures happened inside video games. But when a mysterious drifter stumbles into his dad's restaurant-"Anytime Billiards and Grill"-carrying a strange waterproof tablet, Savion is thrown into a real-life treasure hunt straight out of legend.
Following digital clues, facing modern-day smugglers, and relying on his baseball reflexes and gaming brain, Savion sails to Topsail Island in search of a long-lost artifact-one tied to a famous smuggler's log, a tech-savvy hacker, and secrets that could protect the island forever.
But danger follows.
A charming boat captain with a robotic leg and a drone named Scout may not be who he seems. And Savion must decide who to trust, what to believe, and how far he's willing to go to uncover the truth buried beneath the sand.
